About this listen

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost businessman.

“Donald Trump is a deal maker. He is a deal maker the way lions are carnivores and water is wet.”—Chicago Tribune


“I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump

Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

I felt like I know the man more after reading this book. No wonder he is such a successful President, in spite of the evil forces fighting him every step of the way.

This book is awesome! The Art of the Deal pulls you into Trump’s fast paced world of big deals and sharp thinking. I was blown away by how he tackled New York’s tough real estate scene, turning problems into wins like a pro. You also see how much he cares about people and his family. He’d even take calls from his kids during meetings, showing how important they are to him. It’s super engaging, packed with smart tips, and a must read for anyone aiming to make it big. Inspires you to think bigger! Five stars from me

I avoided reading this book for decades because I assumed it was theory of negotiation, or an arrogant person boasting about how rich he is. It's actually a fascinating story of New York real estate development, with negotiation takeaways as more subtle themes.

The best part is the story of Wollman Rink. Read the Wikipedia entry on this before listening to the chapter in the book. Then extrapolate the Wikipedia bias to all media coverage of the president and you might start rethinking your whole worldview. Or just marvel at that tale of government incompetence, which would be scandalous if it is even half true.

Finally, while it's obviously better when the author reads his own book, in this case the reader does a great job of channeling the Trump personality in fair way, without trying to imitate him.
